Pickles and Prackles
Prickles and prackles
Arizona cacti living her truth
Soaking up the sun
Twirling it in her mind
Saturating her body
Prickly not tickly
Mexican flowers enjoying the desert
Sitting in the sun
Taking her time
Sunbathing nude
Children running toward her
With open arms
And tiny soft fingers
The first time
Wanting to touch her yellow buds
And cheerful prickles
Until they do
